Keysight Threat Simulator vs. Adaptive Security

Threat Simulator functions independently of your production servers or endpoints by leveraging isolated software endpoints within your network to securely evaluate your existing security measures. Our malware and attack simulator, known as Dark Cloud, connects with these endpoints to meticulously test your security infrastructure by simulating the entire cyber kill chain, which encompasses aspects such as phishing, user behavior, malware delivery, infection processes, command and control activities, and lateral movement strategies. As a leader in the realm of application and security testing, our Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI) Research Center guarantees that Threat Simulator is always up-to-date with the latest threats. With a vast database of over 50 million records, we continuously analyze and document millions of emerging threats each month. Owing to our regular updates from our threat feed, you can reliably replicate the most relevant and urgent cybersecurity threats and attacks. Gaining a profound understanding of potential adversaries is also essential for risk assessment and mitigation. Therefore, being aware of new trends in cyber threats is vital for developing effective defense mechanisms and strategies. This proactive approach enables organizations to strengthen their security posture and stay ahead of evolving cyber risks.

Adaptive Security was founded in 2024 by seasoned entrepreneurs Brian Long and Andrew Jones. Since inception, the company has raised over $50 million from top-tier investors including OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, and executives from Google Cloud, Fidelity, Plaid, Shopify, and other industry leaders. Adaptive defends organizations against sophisticated, AI-driven cyber threats such as deepfakes, vishing, smishing, and spear phishing. Its next-generation security awareness training and AI phishing simulation platform enables security teams to deliver ultra-personalized training that adapts to each employee’s role, access level, and exposure. This training leverages real-time open-source intelligence (OSINT) and features highly convincing deepfake content—including synthetic media of a company’s own executives—to mirror real-world attack vectors. Through AI-powered simulations, customers can continuously assess and improve organizational resilience. Hyper-realistic phishing tests across voice, SMS, email, and video channels evaluate risk across every major vector. These simulations are fueled by Adaptive’s AI OSINT engine, giving teams deep visibility into how attackers might exploit their digital footprint. Today, Adaptive serves global leaders like Figma, The Dallas Mavericks, BMC Software, and Stone Point Capital. With an industry-leading Net Promoter Score of 94, Adaptive is redefining excellence in cybersecurity.
